Wiimote

[shadow666]

Fixed it, it must have been the .ini files. makes me feel like such a noob. i thought that i had already deleted the .ini's
I've reinstalled LJP a few times recently and must have missed the .ini's last time.

So it seems to be all fixed still waiting on my wiimote though
Just had a thought, what about a button in LJP the will purge all .ini files (maybe after backing them up). what do you reckon?

[shadow666]

I just got my wiiMote and have had a chance to have a play around.

I'm using a TX and i can report that the motion sensors are working with the TX (not sure if we already new that or not).

So far i have not been able to use the wiimote in gamepad orientation with motion sensors, it does work but it seems to be detecting LEFT when i hold the wiimote in the neutral position. I was unable to find a neutral position when testing on Moonwalker i could walk left or right but not stop, this could be my fault though i will keep playing with the calibration.


So for the TX
Motion Sensors: Working
Configure Buttons: Working
Setting LED's: Working

If there is anything else that needs to be tested for the TX let me know and i'll report back.

OMG playing LJP with the wiimote r0x0rs my j0x0rs

Great work, two thumbs up
WAAAAAYYY UP!

i have got to try this with my wiimote, and it works great on my palm centro and im not having any problems , i tested it with all my games and no problems
---
just can you make snes more playable
---
maybe even add wiimote suport for zquake

[danilo2k]

will this work with the zeemote too?

[shadow666]

Would it be possible to make it so that you can assign button presses to the axis of the wiiMote.

For example, make tilt left activate the left shoulder button.

Any chance of this happening?

[mitch]

Is there a reason I can't assign the power button to anything?
I'd like it to be panic exit

MY only concern now is whether it can also detect other buttons and waves.

All 11 buttons on the Wiimote are equally easy to read.

there are 12 buttons... I guess this explains why you didn't implement the power button, you didn't know about it? or does it have functions inside the wiimote that make it undesirable as a customizeable button (holding it turns off wii... controller too?)

EDIT: I just tested and it does turn the WiiMote off... but if I was able to assign it to panic exit it wouldn't matter that much... Any suggestions, etc.?

[mitch]

Whoa lol triple post!
Can't you then assign that when the WiiMote requests a disconnect, (either by low batteries or power button) that LJP does a panic exit or at least saves and quits the emulation?

[laddspencer]

Sorry about that, NoScript was messing up my ability to preview my post.

It's all up to the LJP maintainers at this point, but that can be done by handling the disconnect event (it's not a bad idea to do that anyway). You'd have to go through the discovery/connection process again if you wanted to reconnect.

[mitch]

obviously, whenever I quit i need to do that to get back in anyways. But I found a bug: On my T|E2, when I set the keys on my wiimote, then launch a game, the wiimote disconnects and forces me to reset. If I quit LJP (after doing config)and then go back in and run a rom, same sort of error. If I quit ljp (after doing config)and try to open up my bluetooth prefs, it tells me its broken and I should re-install. Reseting will fix any of these problems, It's just annoying...

[johnyundershirt]

Hello all I have a palm tx and began playing with the wiimote connection today. I was able to get the wiimote connected with the bluetooth connection and I was able to assign buttons and assign specific LED's but once the game is launched the controller disconnects or appears to remain connected but the mapped buttons will not function. Any Ideas as to what I am doing wrong? Let me know it there is a help post I should be in if I am in the wrong thread. Thanks, John

[mitch]

Hey man I had a similar problem with my T|E2: all I did was reset my handheld after setting buttons. As long as you don't set buttons again, your games should run fine!

[johnyundershirt]

Holy hell Mitch it worked. I had all but given up. You don't know how many times I reinstalled and reset, but I always returned to the configure screen. The wiimote makes these games so much more fun. Now I can revisit the golden days of Contra and Link without mashing my T/X buttons into oblivion. You are my personal Palm savior. I usually get smart comments from these threads when I ask a question so it's nice to get some good advice. Thanks again.

Glad I could help!

[jdo8]

don't suppose anyone is thinking about the possibility of ljp wii motion plus

[luisfhb]

I have a Tungsten T5. I could map buttons, but I couldn't get it working. When I launch the ROM it ask to connect the bluetooth link, it connects and also sets custom LEDs but then nothing!
My configurations:


I tried Core: ARM too but it doesn't even asks to connect
I tried with NES too but the same thing happens

Am I doing something wrong? What can I try? Thanks!

[luckyluke]

Have you really tried the newest version of the Wiimote stuff? (lukas-grundmann.de1.cc/Stuff/LJP_1_2_Wiimote4.zip)

Edit: made url clickable

[ktwister]

WOW~!!!
GREAT work on the Wiimote emulation!

@ luisfhb : Did you try a soft reset after you mapped your buttons ?
Try deleting your .ini file, mapping out your config for the device you are attempting to emulate, then doing a soft reset.
then when you start up LJP again, don't change anything in config or try connecting again, except make sure it still has the 'Use Wiimote' checked. It will also work a little better if you unselect it as a joystick under the 'Joystick' settings unless you got the extra memory to spare or know what you are doing in that area.
After you launch your title, and the bluetooth screen kicks on, check under 'Nearby Devices', when your Wiimote pops up, make sure to select it, and then your title should start that you just launched a second ago.
btw, I would set it to ARM under your Core settings in the 'Other' main Wiimote setting.


I am mainly using the Wiimote setting with my Palm LD. I have absolutely no issues with it at all in either of my LD's. One of my LD's is factory, the other is custom with 30.5 gb of onboard mem, 1.5 gb of ram, and 32 gb of sdhc. I have successfully ran Wiimote emulation with most of the Palm family, and haven't had any issues since Wiimote4. Great job again, Luke~!!!

[ktwister]

haha... thanks man. I have another one I use for certain label gigs I do that has my studio logo on it, but didn't want to get accused of advertising any goods
Anyway thanks for the comment.
The onboard mem is Adata Speedy 32gb CF.

@ luisfhb:

I took a look at a couple things in the programming that explained some new things to me. Instead of doing the soft reset I suggested after you map your keys. Try just turning off the bluetooth, and kicking it out of 'discovery' mode. and then when you relaunch your game, it should ask you if you want to turn bluetooth back on. say yes, and follow the rest of the instructions above, and you should be wiimote-ing in no time. Soft reset's are alot of wear and tear on your flash, bluetooth on&off should work WAY better.

[luisfhb]

ktwister I did all the things you said, I deleted ini, replaced zem files, I even hard reseted my Tungsten T5.

Tried disabling bluetooth but it has no effect, just a new question before the "searching for devices"

If I choose ARM, it doesn't even asks to connect! o.O'

[ktwister]

1) Which of these things did you do first?
In order to help you solve your problem I need a semblance of order regarding your actions.
If you hard resetted your Tungsten, you probably don't even have LJP on it, so there would be no need to delete any files. If you hard-reset your Tungsten, like all Palm devices, it is supposed to restore it to the factory condition. Meaning, alot of thing you have changed in your Palm in order to get this LJP are now restored to their factory defaults. It really makes no sense to do a hard reset in order to solve anything. Hard resets are terrible on your flash, and should only be performed as a last resort.
2) Why exactly did you perform a hard reset ?
And so you are saying that you clicked on the Bluetooth logo, at the bottom of your LJP screen, in exactly the order I told you to click it, and it had no effect.
3) Is your bluetooth set in 'Discoverable' mode ?
I have recently performed this function on a Tungsten, and it worked fine, and I want to make sure that your Palm is not damaged in some way before proceeding any further with this problem.
4) Are you using the Wiimote file that is included in this forum, the Wiimote4?
5) Is your Tungsten updated to the newest revision through Palm?
6) Which Tungsten are you using ?
I know the T5's use a Xscale ARM-based processor.
7) So, WHAT doesn't even connect when you click 'ARM' ?

Please answer these questions, and then we'll see if we can't get this solved for you.

[luisfhb]

Whoa thats alot of questions jau

1)I can't remember what I did or in what order, what I know is that it's not working.
2)I hard reset because I had no important things on it and I thought LJP/Bluetooth would work better with the factory condition. I hard reset because I was getting some "Bluetooth Configs are corrupted reinstall" or something like that.
3)When Bluetooth is turned on it is in 'Discoverable' mode.
4)What is a "Wiimote file"? (I'll check the forum)
5)How can I update revision?
6)Tungsten T5
7)When you start emulation a bluetooth screen is supposed to be kicked on. If ARM is selected it won't.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=98xa2EuDknw - this application works fine.
I don't know why but my bluetooth can't transfer files faster than 10kB/s.

Thanks!

@ luisfhb:

Sorry, if it's alot of questions, but they are all equally important. You SEEMED like you wanted to get LJP working on your device, but after reading some answers to your questions, not sure. Anyway, if you can't tell me in what order you performed various tasks, you might be stuck to helping yourself. If you want my help, please keep track of everything you are doing from here on. Ok ?
Basically to address your answer to my second question, LJP/Bluetooth DO NOT work better on any Palm device in their factory conditions. bluetooth and other info is updated in the newest revision of your Tungsten updates. and you need to use a few tools to probably even get LJP working on your unit. You are going to see bluetooth messages like you mentioned. Have you even read through how to install this device and troubleshoot it ?
If not, Please read 'HOWTO Optimize your LD (or anything NVFS) for LJP'.
The very first thing they tell you is to update your Palm to the newest revision. If your palm device is not updated to it's newest revision, THIS could be the biggest issue with your bluetooth connection, and getting LJP to work with it.
And NO, when your bluetooth is on it is NOT in 'discoverable' mode, that is something that can be turned ON or OFF. If devices stayed in discoverable mode ALL the time, they would make it alot more easy for hackers. As if it isn't easy enough already. But anyway, the Wiimote4 file you are wondering about is included in this thread which makes me think you never even bothered to read this thread, READ IT. It is very important to you getting your device working properly, and you can also see problems others are having which might help you with your problem, in particular. Anyway, the link for the Wiimote4 file is on pg.5 of THIS thread. It is a file of LJP with all the newest zems and the newest LJP. Make sure you get it before writing back. This file is the most important of all things you need to do for me. Let me know what your results are after you've properly updated your LJP. Although, I would try turning off the palm out of discoverable mode by following my previous instructions before updating it because from your previous post, you've already connected to it to perform key assignments, so it doesn't sound like the question of whether your device is updated to the newest revisions of all the software mentioned to you. Regardless, It sounds like you are not using your bluetooth correctly. I would suggest trying to perform a key assignment on it, as you said in your previous post, it worked for key assignments. After assigning keys, click back to the emulator of your choice, but before launching any titles from that emulator, click on the bluetooth logo on the bottom of your screen that is illuminated at this point in blue from just being used for key assignments, and turn off the bluetooth connection. Then launch the title from the emulator you just clicked on, and let me know if you get a connection.

Also, you said your device is transferring files at 10 kb. Have you installed any apps from palmpowerups recently ?

[ktwister]

Yeah C.K,
I know installing any of Dmitry's current~ apps won't help his bluetooth speed. What I was more interested in was, if any were installed recently because if luisfhb let the trial lapse on certain apps of Dmitry's they will greatly slow his transfer speeds in particular; I am sure you are familiar with these without going any further, but just so we're on the same page.

[luisfhb]

Whoaa It's working! All I had to do was to get that wiimote4!!! I thought I had the lastest files, but I was wrong!

It's so cool no more hurt fingers! Thanks ktwister for taking your time if it wasn't you I'd be today destroying my finger lol

Let's go online playing when it's added to the LJP features, for now I'm seeing myself playing SMW on the subway. xD

And sorry for making you spend your time thinking about my problem, I mean, I hadn't updated that fkin zem files!

[ktwister]

Victory ~!!!
Yeah, I knew if you just followed my instructions you would get that thing goin.
It's important to read the thread you are posting in because as you see you can miss some important things.
And it was ABSOLUTELY NO problem. I am glad you got that thing going.

[luckyluke]

Oh no! I already guessed something like that.

Ktwister, thank you for patiently finding it out!

I see ... I'll have to empty the Wiimote1, Wiimote2, Wiimote3 zip files adding a file which includes new links and a notice that all zip packages except the Wiimote4 are only for archiving purpose.

[luisfhb]

Now I wonder if I could connect my handsfree device to the palm lol...
